After returning to the hotel, Sun Dahai first went to his brother and sister's room to take a look. They had already laid down, and Zhang Yujie and Wang Huan were telling them a bedtime story.
Sun Dahai left quietly without disturbing them. He took Gao Yi and Battle directly to Gabriel's room.
They had met when they were picked up at the airport. Gabriel knew that Sun Dahai would accompany the Huo family in the afternoon, so he made an appointment with him to discuss it in detail in the evening. Now that Sun Dahai was working hard, he came to see him.
Gabriel is a night owl, and he is full of energy at night. He is watching TV series on Chinese TV in his room.
Gabriel saw Sun Dahai come in and after hugging him, he got straight to the point and told the reason for his visit.
Youlian Film and Television has been officially established. On the opening day, several shareholders officially showed up and participated in the opening ceremony. It is very common for Xiangjiang actors to participate in film and television companies, and reporters are no longer surprised by this.
However, the four actor shareholders who appeared in Youlian Film and Television all played important roles in "A Better Tomorrow". Therefore, when the reporters at the scene discovered this situation, they all asked privately whether a sequel to "A Better Tomorrow" was going to be made. That's why
Such a film and television company will be established.
"A Better Tomorrow" was a box office hit and set a historical box office record in Hong Kong. Through this film, Fa Ge also got rid of the bad reputation of "Poison Fat" and became a popular fried chicken in the Hong Kong film industry.
Leslie Cheung himself is a film and television singer, and his performance as a singer is the most outstanding. Since this year, he has been able to compete with Alan Tam, who is at the height of his power.
Leslie Cheung's performance in "A Better Tomorrow", although still a bit immature, has attracted a large number of fans. In addition, his original fans have made him become a cross-border traffic package.
Ren Kuang has also been a veteran actor for many years. Although he did not have many important roles before, the hard-working Ren Kuang has appeared in various film and television dramas from time to time, and he is considered a familiar face.
However, God rewards hard work, and through a year of further training in the United States, Ren Kuang improved his acting skills a lot.
He did not fall behind in the scenes opposite Fa Ge, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung. He vividly portrayed the character's initial flattery and later insidiousness.
This time, Ren Kuang, who has accumulated a lot of experience, seized the opportunity and won unanimous praise from people in the industry through his soul-stirring interpretation of the villain in "A Better Tomorrow".
Hong Gu was born with a good destiny. She was a starring role when she debuted. From then on, she became famous unreasonably. She really lived up to her name. It’s a pity that she stopped acting relatively early for love and did not catch up with the days when she could make a lot of money in the 1990s.
.
However, in this life, she met Sun Dahai, and under Sun Dahai's trick, she became a shareholder of Shouijinghao and Youlian Film and Television. Her economic conditions should be much better than in her previous life.
These four people all appeared in the shareholder list of a film and television company, which really made reporters guess a lot.
The four of them all have their own connections. They came forward separately before the opening ceremony and invited many celebrities from the film and television industry to attend the opening ceremony, which made a lot of news.
Gabriel came to the capital this time because he wanted to ask Sun Dahai for instructions on a few things.
He first told Sun Dahai about the preparations for the establishment of the company and the opening ceremony, and then began to report on the specific business.
The first is "A Better Tomorrow 2". The script for this sequel has been written by Tsui Hark, and various preparatory work has begun.
The director is still Wu Yusen. He plans to set up the crew and start shooting at the end of September. It will take up to two months to complete the actual shooting and post-production, and strive to release it in Hong Kong during the Christmas period.
"A Better Tomorrow 2" has a total investment of 7 million Hong Kong dollars and is co-produced by Tsui Hark Studio, Youlian Film and Television Company and Miss Lei's company. The ratio of the three companies is 4:3:3.
Because the investment includes copyright fees, the actual investment amount of Youlian Film and Television is less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. This is also what Tsui Hark and the eldest lady of the Lei family did to Sun Dahai for allowing her company to participate in film investment.
compensate.
Since the first episode of "A Better Tomorrow" was a hit, as soon as the news of a sequel spread, many companies waved their checkbooks and asked for sponsorship.
Because this is a modern drama, it has a wide range of sponsors. Before the filming of the film started, more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars in advertising sponsorships were collected, almost half of the cost has been recovered.
The Sun family's Lansili Clothing Company was also one of the sponsors. They spent 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in sponsorship fees to obtain the production and sales rights for the movie's designated clothing.
This time, the bullet hole version of Xiao Ma Ge’s windbreaker, also known as the “hole jacket”, will continue to add a large number of foreign trade orders to Lansili Clothing Company.
In addition to "A Better Tomorrow 2", another film "An Autumn Fairy Tale" has also officially signed a filming agreement.
Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui finally decided to cooperate with Youlian Film and Television, which will solely invest in the artistic film "Autumn Fairy Tale".
They had previously proposed a shooting budget of three million Hong Kong dollars, but Sun Dahai increased it to four million Hong Kong dollars. The male and female protagonists are Fa Ge and Hong Gu respectively.
The film plans to start filming before New Year's Day, and will fly to New York to shoot some exterior scenes. This is to accommodate the schedules of Fa Ge and Hong Gu, who both have to participate in the filming of "A Better Tomorrow 2."
There was some controversy over the selection of the supporting actor. Sun Dahai, in line with the idea that the good news would not go to outsiders, suggested Leslie Cheung or Ren Kuei.
However, Leslie Cheung wants to consolidate his position in the music industry and prepares to work hard to produce a new album and hold multiple solo concerts after the filming of "A Better Tomorrow 2". Therefore, starting from the end of this year, he will take a break from acting for more than half a year.
Leslie Cheung didn't have time, but Ren Kuan was not very interested in this role. Since he studied in the United States, he has been more picky about movies and roles, and he will not accept all bad movies like in his previous life.
This is mainly due to Sun Dahai. He asked Yam to invest the money he won from gambling in Lan Kwai Fong and opened the "Film Slow Shake Bar".
Although "Filin Slow Shake Bar" is different from "Nine Hotpot Restaurant" and "Suiyu Jinghao Cafe" that cater to ordinary consumers, it still opened several branches and made a lot of money every day, helping Ren Kuei achieve financial success.
free.
Ren Tuanxi, who has no financial worries, will naturally not be picky about what to eat when he is hungry, and will only read when he has a book.
Ren Kuang's contract with his original agency has expired. He did not choose to renew the contract, but instead became an independent actor and started a solo career.
Sun Dahai's desire to set up a brokerage company with Lenny was not just a whim. One of the important factors was that Ren Kuanxi could be on call at any time. He successfully played the villain in "A Better Tomorrow" and is also considered a famous actor.
